The move is being taken under National Electronic Toll Collection Program (NETCP) which is being run by Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL), a company promoted by NHAI. In return the state will bear 50% capex costs, and operations and maintenance of the toll plazas. As per the program, the percentage of program management fees shall be based on electronic toll collected. As per government estimates, there are around 500 state toll plazas apart from 450 on national highways in the country. At present only 25 state toll plazas offer electronic tolling across the states highways in Telangana, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
